HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Salvation Army’s annual Red Kettle campaign wrapped up on Christmas Eve and Maj. Paul James says that, while the mainstay of the holiday season proved fruitful in Reno County, there’s still time at the end of the year for donors to support the mission of Reno County’s largest, non-governmental provider of social services.
“The Christmas fundraising season is what sets the tone for the upcoming year,” James said. “So, every donation before the end of 2021 will mean more families we can help in the new year.”
Donors will also be able to benefit on their 2021 tax deductions with an eligible gift to The Salvation Army. The money raised will help families afford rent and mortgages, pay utility bills, and provide character-building programs for children in Reno County.
The Salvation Army community center will be open through Thursday for anyone wanting to drop off a donation at 700 N Walnut St. in Hutchinson. Donations can also be made online 24 hours a day at salarmy.us/HopeMarchesOnHutchinson.
“We rely on the support of Reno County and greatly appreciate every single donation we receive, because ultimately, it’s going to keep the community we all call home a special place,” Maj. James said.
